| Description: | Select Guide Rating Follow Colm TóibÃn's lone religious pilgrimage along the Irish border during the tumultuous summer of 1987. <p>In the summer after the Anglo-Irish Agreement, when tension was high in Northern Ireland, Colm Tóibín walked along the border from Derry to Newry. <i>Bad Blood</i> is a stark and evocative account of this journey through fear and hatred, and a report on ordinary life and the legacy of history in a bleak and desolate landscape.<br><br> Tóibín describes the rituals – the marches, the funerals, the demonstrations – observed by both communities along the border, and listens to the stories which haunt both sides. With sympathy and insight <i>Bad Blood</i> captures the intimacy of life along one of the most contested strips of land in Western Europe.</p> |
